Navigating your way through effective giving is like learning to swim - when you get a kick-start with good coaching, the world’s your oyster

How we can help you

Giving well is like any other discipline. The better your knowledge, networks, practice and openness to learn, the better the outcome.

Lisa Kingman brings deep experience, trusted relationships and clear-eyed judgement to every engagement, along with the ability to navigate complex conversations with both rigour and good humour.

With more than 60,000 registered charities in Australia, the landscape can feel overwhelming. Regardless of the size of your fund or the causes closest to your heart, you want to know your capital is being deployed effectively and in the hands of credible, high-performing change-makers.

If that matters to you, you’re in the right place.

Lisa works on a monthly retainer, tailored to the level of support you need.
